I think it is a shame when things like this happen in a way. People ask over and over on this list for the ability to open .wps files, but the community seems to have its own agenda so somebody else comes up with it. Then people ask to open .docx files and somebody else comes up with it (NeoOffice) then somebody asks for VBA and some.... anyway I think you see where I'm going with this. I appreciate that OOo have done all the hard work and these mavericks just add one or two features but it shows its possible and I think it is a shame. One question though for people in the know... Doesn't the GPL (which OOo source is released under) state that anyone can modify the source of OOo as long as this modified source is made available to the community? I've not checked but I presume that the source to the PCLinuxOS OOo is available, and so couldn't it quite easily be incorporated into OpenOffice?

I've probably missed the point somewhere...

No, OpenOffice will not open works files. Only works will.


So why (in 2.1) when I go to File-Open in Writer, is there an option in
the
Filter Drop-down box for Microsoft WORKS files then?

I also have OpenOffice.org 2.1, and there is no WORKS option in the
file

format drop down box. I've checked over and over again.

Where is it? Can you please tell me what is above and beneath it?

OpenOffice.org 2.1, Windows XP SP2

I'm using 2.1.7 cvs on PCLinuxOS

It's between Microsoft Word 2003 XML and Pocket Word.....


There's nothing in between them in OO 2.1 on SUSE 102.
